Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 | True Crime |
WBIR - “Black tape” bandit suspect in custody:
The man suspected in a string of six recent bank robberies in the Knoxville area has been apprehended. Travis Carver, age 25, is being held in the Knox County Detention Center on federal charges after one attempted and one successful bank robbery, both in West Knoxville Tuesday.
He’s become known as the “black tape” bandit because in each of the robberies, he appeared to have wrapped electrical tape around one or more of his fingers.

Our city is safe again, Batman: thanks to you!
I wasn’t interested in this guy at all until the press gave him the name “black tape bandit.” The branding is so important.
